. The visit of this celebrated specialist is fast
drawing to close. It has been marked by an
unparalleled practice. in affections of the Eye.
Ear. Nose and Throat. adjusting spectacles and
inserting artificial Eyes. Not only have the
afflicted of the city taken advantage of his un-
rlvaled skill. but his success has attracted
large number from throughout the State, almost
every county being represented among his
patients. While his reputation has beer made
by the almost miraculous cures of the blind and
deaf he is equally as successful in the treatment
of the Affections of the
NOSE AND THROAT
He says the exposed position of these organs
makes them subject to variety Of diseases
which. if unattended or treated incompetently.
are certain seedlings to lung affections which
will ultimately kill. at least shorten the golden
hours of life; hence. too much importance cam
not be attached to an early attention of any of
their affections no matter how trivial it may at
first appear. Among the serious
THROAT AFFECTIONS.
may be mentioned Fungus Sore Throat, Syphi-
letic Sore Throat, Lyrangitis, Pharyngitis,
Tonsilitis, Bronchitis, tuberculosis, Uleerous,
Paralysis of the Vocal Organs. Elongation of the
Uvula. Cleft Palate. Hyptrophy and Atrophy of
the Tonsils, etc. etc. all of which are too serious
to admit of anything less than exact constitu-
tional and local treatment In the
NOSE.
may be found polypi, "a foot" tumor which
occurs in the mucous membrane. 1t varies much
in size, number and mode of adhesion. Fibrous
polypi of compact texture, and do not degen-

at all ages, but are frequent in young
adults. The growth manifests great tendency
to extend prolongations into the sinuses of the
nose and face; this is not only dangerous but
produces great deformity.
OZENA.

smell. The putrid matter is composed of a
myriad of parasites tworms| If neglected
maltreated the entire nasal passage becomes
eaten away, and the system becomes impreg-
mated with their poison.
CATARRH
which is so common in this changeable climate,
receives as much more attention than any
stumbling block to cure is false diagnosis. By
some not informed. and those who have I'm
fallable cure,n every affection of the and
head are called catarrh. Thisis quite erroneous.
While it is disease of the mucous membrane.
this membrane anatomically considered. is the
same as the skin. and subject to variety of dis
eases which are quite as troublesome catarrh.
Being hid In deep, remote recesses none but the
skilled specialist, who is supplied with all modern
to prescribe a line of treatment for
each special case Right here wish to say
have no one box or bottle from WHICH cure
catarrh. My treatment is rational and exact.
cons titutional as well as local. adapted to the
conditions and complications present the success
of which is told by my patients, and their name
is legion in this vicinity.
